The hair of her bouffant coiffure radiates almost straight away from her head as if she was electrically charged, but in an elegant way. She appears to be using a fichu tucked under her bertha as epaulettes. Her bodice or jacket is probably closed with buttons under a flap. She appears to be carrying a wrap or over-garment.
